SciFi4Me: The H2O Podcast

We got called out! This week, we celebrate a milestone with our 200th episode! And building off some feedback, we're going to talk about things we should be talking about more often -- the literary side of genre. We spend a lot of time talking about film & television. We need to get back to our roots. You can now listen on iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-the-h2o-podcast-3115194...

This week: a bit of an antidote to our very serious discussion from last week. There are rumors about the upcoming X-Men and Fantastic Four appearing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and there are rumors about casting.

This week, we take a look at an editorial written by science fiction author Lester Del Rey.

Spoilers.  Those dreaded moments when someone can absolutely ruin a movie or TV show (or even a book) before you get a chance to experience it for yourself.  Have we gotten too worried about spoilers?
